Policies and Procedures
ID cards must be handed to the cashier every time the dining hall is entered. Students should not ask the cashier to admit them without their card. In the case of a misplaced or lost Maryville College ID, the student must contact Residence Life to obtain a new card or 3-day temporary pass. Meal Plan ID cards must be presented by cardholders at the point of purchase to gain access to the dining hall. ID cards presented by persons other than the cardholder will be confiscated and considered stolen and taken to the Office of Student Affairs.
Shoes and shirt must be worn in the Dining Hall and Isaac’s Cafe.
No food may be taken from the Dining Hall unless participating with the “green box” program. The no-limits policy provides students with plenty to eat while they are in the Dining Hall.
After dining, diners are to return dinner ware to the dish room and leave their tables and chairs clean in consideration of others.
Dietary Needs
Students with special dietary needs should consult with the Nurse and the Food Service General Manager. All efforts will be made to meet these needs. Students who are too ill to attend class or come to the Dining Room should obtain a special dietary request from the Nurse or Resident Assistant. When presented to the Dining Manager along with the student’s ID card, a take-out box will be provided.
If a required school activity prohibits students from attending a meal period, a meal may be packed for them. Activity leaders should request packaged meals for students at least one week in advance of the outing. Student ID numbers will be needed with the order is placed and a meal will be deducted from the meal plan any time that food is provided for a College-approved outing.

Guidelines on the Use of Isaac’s Cafe
Implicit in its name, Isaac’s Café serves primarily as a functional public space for food and entertainment/social activities. Designed for and utilized by MC students, staff and faculty, Isaac’s is available for open, participatory activities as well as activities targeting a particular audience. With these points in mind, the following guidelines must be adhered to:
- An event may target a particular audience as long as the availability of regular food service is not interrupted and the event complies with the open and inclusive requirement for student organizations (an evening event may not take place later than 11 pm).
- All MC events must be approved and scheduled by the Director of Campus Life.
- If an event is being facilitated by a student organization, the faculty/staff advisor must be notified and may be required to attend.
- Any group using Isaac’s must be prepared to move all furniture back to its original position and clean up the entire area immediately at the conclusion of an event.
- Time availability will vary based on the nature of the activity, the reservation schedule, and the day of the week.
- If Isaac’s availability is needed during closed hours, the same reservation rules apply, including the conclusion of all events by 11:00 pm.
- Sound equipment will be available by requesting support through Corporate Sales and Events. Non-Maryville College entities will have access to the facility during closed hours on weekends only when the reservation calendar is open and the activity is approved by the Director of Corporate Sales and Events.
